A final vote for Plat 5, Hawks Point Subdivision at Roscoe and Old River, passed by a 4-2 vote. Josh Petry is the owner and developer of the project and wants to build town homes on the property. Trustees Carol Gustafson and Sue Petty once again voted against the planned Townhomes of White Oak project. Trustee Mike Dunn voted no in previous meetings, but changed his mind and voted yes in the latest vote. In April, Village President Mark Szula broke a 3-3 tie to allow the parcel to be rezoned as multi-family residential.
The development in Hawks Point has become a campaign issue for the April 2023 trustee election, in which Szula is being challenged by Gustafson for the Village President post. Three other candidates opposed to Szula's leadership have joined with Gustafson. Dunn will be running for reelection, as is Anthony Keene. Keene, who consistently votes with Szula, has been criticized for working in California and attending meetings remotely while serving as a Roscoe trustee.
The next Village meeting is scheduled for Dec. 20, 2022, beginning at 6:30 pm.
